Firearm Registration Forms
South Carolina does not obligate individuals residing in the state to register firearms of any type. Gun owners will not need to gain any license or permit to purchase but must undergo a standard background check to buy from a federally licensed dealer. Open carry of long guns are allowed in warranted areas, but the carry of a handgun, openly or concealed, will require a Concealed Weapon Permit. Applicants may request a permit by mail with the following obtained materials:
- A filled-out South Carolina Concealed Weapon Permit Application (Form R-078) with a signature from an accepted firearms safety instructor.
- A completed South Carolina Concealed Weapon Permit Instructor Student Checklist (Rev-09/17)
- Certification proving successful passing of a firearms safety program.
- A photocopy of the applicant’s South Carolina driver’s license or photo ID.
- Two fingerprint identification cards
- Proper payment for all associated fees.
